Transform Automotive Supply Chain Planning with Real-Time Intelligence and AI-Driven Foresight

Board unifies strategic, tactical, and operational planning across the end-to-end automotive supply chain. It connects supplier, OEM, and financial objectives within one platform, creating visibility from strategy to execution. Scenario control and governance ensure every decision stays aligned while teams adapt quickly to changing OEM forecasts, tariffs, and material constraints. This unified approach replaces disconnected spreadsheets and siloed tools, enabling faster responses to disruption, stronger resilience, and measurable improvements in service levels, margins, and working capital.

Board connects real-time OEM demand signals with supplier capacity and production capabilities in a continuous planning cycle. Forecasts, constraints, and production plans are reconciled automatically to balance service levels, cost, and capacity. Planners can instantly simulate changes — such as new tariffs or shifts in OEM demand — and see the impact on purchasing, inventory, and fulfillment plans in minutes. The result is synchronized execution across tiers, ensuring the right parts and components reach OEMs on time and at optimal cost.

AI is embedded throughout Board’s planning engine, continuously interpreting internal data and external signals such as market demand, commodity prices, logistics indicators, and tariff changes. Predictive models anticipate disruptions and propose optimal responses before they affect production or margins. Automotive suppliers gain explainable insights and automated recommendations, enabling proactive adjustments to sourcing, capacity, and pricing. This predictive intelligence improves forecast accuracy, reduces risk, and empowers faster, data-driven decisions across the entire supplier network.

Board integrates seamlessly with ERP, MES, and supplier collaboration systems through open APIs and certified connectors. It builds on existing IT investments, creating a unified data model that connects finance, supply, and OEM planning data. This interoperability supports real-time collaboration between OEMs and suppliers, accelerates deployment, and reduces IT complexity while maintaining governance and scalability for future expansion.

Board combines deep configurability with intuitive use for supplier networks of any scale. Users can tailor workflows, data models, and dashboards without code, ensuring fast adoption and local flexibility. A familiar interface provides spreadsheet-like navigation with guided workflows for planners managing complex multi-plant or multi-tier environments. IT retains full governance and security, while planners gain autonomy to run simulations, test scenarios, and collaborate seamlessly across functions. The result is flexible planning that adapts as supplier operations and OEM requirements evolve.

Suppliers using Board typically achieve measurable impact across cost, margin, and responsiveness: 10–20% inventory reduction, 15% forecast-accuracy improvement, and up to 30% faster planning cycles. Unified visibility reduces excess stock and logistics costs, improves service reliability, and strengthens working-capital control. By linking strategy, demand, and supply in one continuous planning platform, suppliers can anticipate OEM shifts, navigate tariffs, and build resilience that drives long-term profitability.
